We’d be on the first bus to Specsavers if we got this from the doctor’s office!

Lang told The Huffington Post UK: "It is a fake. But very much based on a real letter that a colleague received, which was from the local NHS eye department. It was printed with a larger than normal font which made us chuckle."

He added: "By virtue of the massively over-sized text, you can only draw one dreadful conclusion."

Of course, many Twitter commenters thought the letter was real – but either way the joke works, right?!

Also, ladies, Andy Lang’s Twitter bio says “currently looking for love and a new pair of glasses”, so perhaps there’s a meet-cute in a local opticians coming your way if you live in the Winchester area!

We'd be mortified to receive something like this in the post! What do you reckon?
